Chkdsk see partition as RAW:

[Guest Conrad Gotzmann]

I have not been able to backup my D Drive due to the partition changing from

NTFS to raw: chkdsk.exe claims the partition is raw and NT shadow copy

fails. Once I reboot all is fine until the next backup.

HP onboard sata raid controller. 2 x 160GB raid 1.

partition C:

partition d:

backup d:\ to d:\diskbackup exluding the diskbackup folder.

Both disks and system board have been replaced. Raid Drivers are up to date.

This worked for about 1 year then suddenly problems with NT backup.

 

NT Backup reports. Backup started on 3/1/2008 at 9:21 PM.

WARNING: Portions of "\Exchange\bin\ContentFilter.dll" cannot be read. The

backed up data is corrupt or incomplete.

This file will not restore correctly.

Warning: Unable to open "D:\Exchange\bin\ContentFilterHelp.chm" - skipped.

Reason: The system cannot find the file specified.

 

Total backup is 20GB

 

The following works.

 

Backup D:\ to f:\diskbackup

Run Exchange only backup

Run Systemstate backup OK.

 

What could be causing this problem ?

I would reformat the partition, but only after backing it up to

a different disk, then restoring it to yet another disk.

 

Backing up a partition to itself does not seem to make much

sense. Does the problem occur when you select a different

destination drive?
